The Pittsburgh Steelers are going through an odd moment right now. Kenny Pickett was criticized for being their starter, but the club soon recognized that they may be in much bigger difficulty without him.
Now, when talking about the future, their quarterback issue is taken into account. Furthermore, according to one observer, a young quarterback might be joining the Steelers in Pittsburgh during the offseason.
That QB is none other than Justin Fields. We are thinking of selecting a quarterback with the first overall pick in the offseason; therefore, the QB may be traded. The Steelers ought to be his destination if he is on the move, according to Emery Hunt of CBS Sports.
What if Chicago decides to bench Justin Fields? is a question I keep asking. That is a possibility—a path Pittsburgh might take, according to Hunt.
I wouldn’t be shocked if they gave Chicago a call to see how things stand with Justin Fields.
Next season, Fields will enter the last year of his rookie contract, giving the Steelers a year to determine whether he is the team’s best option going forward.
As a lower draft pick approaches, a veteran quarterback like Fields might be Pittsburgh’s best choice to replace their current quarterback lineup. At just 24 years old, Fields still has plenty of time remaining to establish himself as the Steelers’ franchise quarterback.
Many people agreed with ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky when he said earlier in the season that Fields would be an improvement over Pickett.
It will be fascinating to see if Pittsburgh chooses to trade up for a developing talent if he does become available in the spring.
